Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, total number of cats in the litter = 7

We are told in the question that 4/7 of the kittens are white

This means

The number of kittens that are not white = 7 - 4/7 = 3/7

The number of kittens that are female and white = 3/7

This question is a conditional probability question

The probability that your cousin will choose a female kitten given that it is white is calculated as:

Probability that the kittens are female and white ÷ Probability that the kittens are white

= 3/7 ÷ 4/7

= 3/7 × 7/4

= 3/4

Therefore, probability that your cousin will choose a female kitten given that it is a white is 3/4
